Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all. <\/strong><\/p>\n

My work each day is decided for me by need. The cats needed to be fed, the cats need water, I need firewood. The birds need feed the outside cat needs feed.<\/p>\n

I don’t have any blocks of wood to split, so I need to chainsaw wood. I can’t transport the wood to the chopping block, so I need to clean a path to the woodpile.<\/p>\n

I need a large amount of wood since the deep freeze, as I predicted is going to get worse, Friday night to Sunday night. -32, 36, -38, -38.<\/p>\n

Before I cut wood I need to sharpen the chain. What I really need right now is a large coffee. The water is on the woodstove.<\/p>\n

I am having that large coffee now along with some breakfast. I made the mistake of doing a lot of work yesterday without food.<\/p>\n

It turns out chancing icy roads the other day to get my cat food order was a good idea. I ran out of food in the bin this morning. Don’t worry I have two big bags in the van, oh yeah add that to my workload, move bags to the bin. There is no way I could drive in today, nothing but deep snow out there I can only imagine what the highway is like.<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see the driveway is done. I meant to just cut a path to the woodpile, but I couldn’t stop. I am taking a rest now, but I still need to go out and chainsaw wood.<\/p>\n

Been there done that got the back pain to prove it.<\/p>\n
